ERROR: ZFS pool <Pool_Name> does not support boot environments
Hello,

I am a newbie to the world of Solaris. so please ignore if I make any silly point.

Recently I was trying to migrate UFS file system to ZFS on Solaris 10 (x86 platform).

I have followed standard procedures/documents available online

_http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/821-0438/ggeej/index.html

Steps:

- Create a zpool
- fire lucreate command

Error I am getting is :

Code:
ERROR: ZFS pool <rpool> does not support boot environments.

I have relabeled my disk to SMI label using "format -e" command after creating zpool. But still I am not able to pass through this lucreate step.


Details from my test is below.

Code:
bash 3.2# zpool create rpool c1t5d0

<<Used Format -e command to overwrite SMI label using format -e command>> 

bash-3.2# lucreate -c c0t0d0s0 -n newzfsBE -p rpool

ERROR: ZFS pool <rpool> does not support boot environments
WARNING: The boot environment definition file </etc/lutab> was removed because the PBE was not successfully defined and created.

NOTE: I am performing this test on a VM (solaris 10) created on virtualbox.


Kindly suggest what else can be checked or done.


Thanks

zdb

NAME

       zdb - ZFS debugger

SYNOPSIS

       zdb pool

DESCRIPTION

       The  zdb command is used by support engineers to diagnose failures and gather statistics. Since the ZFS file system is always consistent on
       disk and is self-repairing, zdb should only be run under the direction by a support engineer.

       If no arguments are specified, zdb, performs basic consistency checks on  the  pool  and  associated  datasets,	and  report  any  problems
       detected.

       Any options supported by this command are internal to Sun and subject to change at any time.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0    The pool is consistent.

       1    An error was detected.

       2    Invalid command line options were specified.
